Tangle bags are rectangular-shaped frame bags designed to fit a variety of bike frames. They can be used for everyday riding & commuting and any adventure big or small.

The main compartment features an exit port for a hydration tube or battery wire, a zippered flat left side pocket holds smaller stuff. Attachment is made with reinforced velcro along the top tube, other mounts are adjustable with webbing and low profile camlock buckles with strap keepers. All attachment points bartacked for strength.

Tangles usually leave room for both water bottle mounts. To check, measure the vertical height from the top of the bottle to the top tube and compare with bag height. In some cases you may need to use side entering cages or smaller bottles.

I put one of these on my Mountain Bike, stays clear of the rear shock, confirm the length will fit your frame, strap it on, load it up, and forget it's there. Rides solid.

I just purchased the med frame bag I have owned the large bag for a few years and love it. The thing I don't like about the med bag is the cheap looking plastic straps I don't think they will last like my large bag we will see. Other than that the bag fits my Fuji touring bike perfect I like the different compartments inside for storage and the two Velcro straps inside to hold a pump tent poles exec. This Revelate gear is very light weight and that's important when you are loading a touring bike to cross country. I would Recommend it.

measure your triangle for size before you order, easy to get greedy and buy one that is too long, with a great tie down system, water/poncho/light tools/ right handy

Great product!

Very satisfied with product. Carries a considerable amount of material. Does not detach readily so good idea to carry items in draw string pack one can easily put in and out of the frame bag. Keeps things dry as well. Highly recommend.

Excellent

This bag is simply incredible. It takes up virtually no space and is very aerodynamic. Great for tools, tubes, first aid kit etc... I use it touring and mountain biking.

VELCRO OVER LOAD

I plan to use the frame bag on an 1100 mile tour this September so I cannot fairly rate the performance of this product. However, I can address how it attaches to my Trek hybrid. The bag uses 3 Velcro straps and the large flap that secures the bag to my top tube is,for me, a problem area. This flap uses a big 6 inch by 3 inch piece of Velcro. Unfortunately, all of the cables for my bike run along the top of my top tube. This means I have to slip the large Velcro encrusted flap into the small gap between the cables and the top tube. Trying to do this without the Velcro attaching to itself is doable but difficult. The only consolation is that once it is on you can be fairly certain no one is going to remove it easily from your bike.Unfortunately, that also includes you. Despite this annoyance I like the bag, the way it's constructed and the way it uses the space under the tube. Reaching items while riding just seems easier.

Increase center mass while touring.

For those who like water bottles, this partial frame bag can move a surprising amount of weight from the front or back of your mountain touring bike to the center of the frame. Fit is critical. I heard through the grapevine that this medium bag was made with my Surly Karate Monkey in mind, and the fit seems perfect.

Very good !

The bag is well constructed and seems to be better quality than the jandd i used to employ. Shipping to France without any problems and very quick. I'm very happy of this.

Seems great so far. Didn't rate it higher because I've only been using it a week. I primarily got the bag to provide extra water carrying space (using water bags). But when not carrying water it also fits a u-lock and cable nicely.

Perfect!

Works great for me, super versatile. Not too big, not too small. Carries weight well and in a good spot. Fits what I need for longer day rides without dinky saddle bags, and junk on my back.

This may be the highest quality piece of bike gear I own

I used this on my carbon road bike for a week long bikepacking trip. The bike doesn't take a rack, so I strapped a compression dry bag to my handlebars, strapped another dry bag to my saddle, and used the Revelate frame bag for my tent poles, tools, and other misc supplies. My wife had the same setup except no frame bag (her bike is too small for a stock Revelate, and the Jandd bag we ordered didn't get to us in time.) The Revelate bag was amazing. Fantastic attention to detail - when you get one, just look at the way the zippers nestle into their zipper nooks; very light weight; easy to mount; and stable. My experience with this convinced me to order more Revelate gear - it's on the way.

The bag did not fit on my road bike, it was too long. I have sent it back and am awaiting a replacement Mountain Bike model bag. However, use of the water bottles would have been difficult with the original bag since it rested on top of or along side the water bottles.

Let me just start by admitting that I'm hooked. I own the Viscacha seat bag, Mountain Feedbag, Gas Tank, Sling and Small pocket. The designed and construction of the Tangle bag is excellent! Lots of storage space and also has the capability of carrying a hydration bladder with the hose port feature. The bag is very stable. You may need to downsize to smaller water bottles depending on you frame geometry and bag size. Buy this with confidence you will not regret it.

I was surprised at how well this fit in my RM Blizzard and Ragely Blue Pig frames even though it is a generic fitting bag. There was no room for full size water bottles but smaller bottles of water from the store fit.
One thing to keep in mind is that the Carousel fuel tank will not fit at the stem with this frame bag. I had to mount the fuel tank bag on the seat post instead.

Will go further than you.

This company makes rock solid gear. It has yet to let me down, from -20 degree snow biking to multiday road tours in the summer. Get it, rock it, love it.
